RANKINGS WATCHEach Monday we take a look at any major movement in the top-10 of the CIAC Tournament Rankings for those sports where it is provided.

All of the teams ranked in the top-10 in the four classes have either no or one loss, with the exception of the 10th-ranked team in Class S, which is Coginchaug with a 4-2 record. Holy Cross has six wins with no losses to sit atop class M, which is the best record in the state at this juncture.

The number of unbeaten teams sits at 22 in softball including nine of the 10 top-10 teams in class L still without a loss. Naugatuck’s six wins (6-1) in class LL are currently the most in the in the sport, while there are four 5-0 teams, all of which reside in class L.

Six teams are at 4-0 in boys lacrosse to start the year, which marks the top record in the early going. Seventeen teams have yet to suffer their first loss, and there is only one two-loss team in any of the top-10s in boys lacrosse.

Glastonbury and Farmington are both 4-0 to sit atop class L and class M rankings respectively with the best records in girls lacrosse a few weeks into the season. Both class L and M have five unbeaten teams, while there are three unblemished squads in class S. There are 33 teams currently sitting above .500 a few weeks into the year.
